Why does playlist insert replace the current playlist when stopped?
Llorean:
What were the three different things "Insert" previously did? As far as I know, all it ever did was "Insert at the insert point."

Sure, if you already understand what it does you can think of it like that. If you are trying to explain it though, you need to say something like the manual does:
--- Quote ---Add track(s) immediately after any tracks added via the most recent Insert operation. If no tracks have yet been added via an Insert, new tracks will be added immediately after the current playing track. If playback is stopped a new dynamic playlist will get created with the selected tracks.
--- End quote ---
One sentence for each thing.
You could explain it in terms of the insert position, but then you'd need two qualifiers: one to say where the insert position starts and one to say what happens when stopped.

Heh, does anyone have any comments on the new functionality itself rather than the strings?
The way I see it, the main advantages are:
- you can set up the current a playlist while stopped.
- it is understandable without reading the manual (apart from "queue" the meaning, but that is orthogonal to this patch)
- there are no side effects of play / stop as far as playlist editing is concerned
- All operations always do the same thing ('insert' does not do one of three different things
depending on the internal state).

I like the fact that I can create a playlist without it starting playback immedialtely.
I like the new simplicity and intuitiveness of the menus
thanks CC

I think this is a great improvement. This clears up part of the user interface that has always been somewhat confusing. I hope this is accepted, thanks.
